Russia's Wagner mercenary group has started withdrawing its forces from the Ukrainian city of Bakhmut and transferring its positions there to regular Russian troops, its founder Yevgeny Prigozhin said in a video published on Thursday.

"We are withdrawing the units from Bakhmut. From today at five in the morning, May 25 until June 1, most of the units will rebase to camps in the rear. We are handing our positions to the military," he said.

They are running from ghosts of the 50,000 dead Ukrainian soldiers they can't.

Your dominatrix must make a fortune off you. No one is into self-humiliation more than you are, Marcus.

Given the numerous, totally nonsensical and outrageous things you have posted here, it is beyond incredible that you would say something like this to someone else.

In war don’t believe everything you see or hear. Feints, mousetraps, and the like, are part of the trade. And never telegraph your punch.

Exactly so.

The question may be: who was playing who in Bakmut? We may not know for years.
